Formech 1500 Vacuum Former Features

Introducing Formech 1500 Large Format Vacuum Former

Built for manufacturers needing high specifications and a large forming area with maximum cost efficiency, the Formech 1500 delivers industrial-grade versatility. Designed for sheet sizes up to 1500 x 1000mm, it features standard pneumatic clamping, an electric heater drive, and an integrated vacuum tank system for ultra-fast cycle times. Whether you're producing point-of-sale displays, theater props, or large-scale industrial components, the Formech 1500 offers flexible, hands-on performance without the high price tag of fully automated machines.

Formech Cycle View (FCV) with Multi-Programme Memory and 7" Touchscreen

Machine cycle status is clearly visible at a glance and all parameters can be adjusted in real time without interrupting the current cycle.

Multi-User Pin Access Control

The machine supervisor can choose and determine a level of access for different operators.

Electric Heater Drive

Powered drive and return of the quartz heater unit, reducing operator fatigue and decreasing cycle time.

What's Included?

Formech 1500 Features

• Quartz Heaters with Variable Standby
  Quartz heaters have the benefit of a rapid response and high efficiency resulting in time and energy savings.
• Vacuum & Pressure Gauges
  A visual indication of consistent vacuum and pressure being applied (pressure in Hg / bar).
• FCV (Formech Cycle View) with 40 Programme Memory
  Machine cycle status is clearly visible at a glance and all parameters can be adjusted in real time without interrupting the current cycle.
• Pre-Stretch
  Pre-stretch enables the user to pump air into the heated sheet, creating a bubble to avoid thinning of material with deeper tools.
• Twin Cooling Fans
  To cool formed material and shorten cycles times.
• Vacuum Flow Regulator
  Precisely regulates vacuum flow rate when a greater level of control is required with demanding applications.
• Electric Heater Drive
• Multi User Pin Access Control
  The supervisor of the machine can choose and determine a level of access for the different operators.
• Oil Filled Rotary Vane Pump 18m3/h
• Vacuum & Release
  After the formed part has cooled, air is forced between the mould and the sheet to help it release.
• PLC Control with 7" Colour Touch Screen Control
• 18 Independently Controllable Heating Zones
  Provide rapid heat response with a greater range of control to form challenging shapes and materials.
• Auto-Level
  Avoids material sag during the heating cycle and maintains an even distance between heater and sheet whilst providing the user with an audible indication the material is ready to form.
• Vacuum Receiver Tank
• Pneumatic Table
  Lifts tool table quickly and precisely making effortless operation, even with heavy tools. Twin controls avoid accidental activation.
• Table Height Adjust
  Table height adjust shortens the tool table travel when using shallow tools and reduces cycle time.
• Pneumatic Trigger Clamps
  Pneumatically powered clamping system that provides powerful and effortless control.
• 12 Months Warranty
  12 months warranty is included, as standard, with all Formech machines.
